01
Lane cottage, four seasons
Took the buffalo lawn out. Put in a gravel spine, two fruit trees, and beds that do not need a hose every afternoon.
Work
A few yards we would still stand in.
Photographs here are stand-ins. On a live site this is where the before-and-after grid earns its keep.
02
The side path nobody used
Narrow, dark, full of bins. We raised the grade, added brick, and planted things that like neglect.
03
Front garden, no letterbox jungle
The brief was “stop hiding the house.” Low planting, one small tree, and an edge the mower will not wreck.
